Send the Eagles - Answering the Call of the Emergency Fleet Corporation, 1917
EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of World War I, the United States Shipping Board and the Emergency Fleet Corporation launched an unprecedented effort to expand the country's maritime capabilities. In response to the dire need for additional shipping vessels to transport troops, supplies, and munitions overseas, the two organizations turned to an iconic symbol of American strength and freedom - the bald eagle. This powerful poster, titled "Send the Eagles," depicts a majestic bald eagle soaring above a fleet of ships setting sail for a distant shore. The ships are engulfed in flames, symbolizing their transformation from civilian vessels into warships through the rapid conversion efforts of the Emergency Fleet Corporation. The eagle, with its fierce gaze and outstretched wings, represents the United States' commitment to answering the call of duty and supporting its allies in their time of need. The poster, produced in 1917, was part of a larger propaganda campaign aimed at inspiring American citizens to support the war effort. By harnessing the symbolism of the bald eagle, the campaign effectively tapped into the collective pride and patriotism of the American people. The image of the eagle and the ships became a potent reminder of the country's resilience and its determination to contribute to the global struggle for peace and freedom. Today, this poster stands as a testament to the indomitable spirit of the United States during a pivotal moment in its history. It serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women who answered the call to serve, and the enduring symbol of the bald eagle that continues to inspire and represent the values of freedom, strength, and unity.
